[Hidden-tech] Cumberland Farms Smart Pay...

Just from a personal point of view, I wouldn't be spreading my ID and banking information around for 
such a small discount. With current gas prices, that's less than a 3% discount. You'll save a dollar 
or two on a fillup, depending on your tank size and how empty it is. If you commute some distance 
or otherwise drive a lot, you might see that savings once a week - a cup of coffee a week, assuming 
you don't require some more expensive brew than plain coffee. There are lots of easier ways to save 
that amount without giving up your identity information.

Stop & Shop gives a better deal than that (assuming you buy groceries for more than one person, 
e.g. a family, at Stop & Shop), without requiring all that information. Depending on the 
relationship between how much you spend on groceries and how frequently you fill your tank, you can 
save 10, 20, 30 or even more cents per gallon - just scan your little plastic Stop & Shop key ring 
tag at the pump. It's still not an outrageous bunch of savings, but it is a better price at no 
additional risk, and it does kind of feel good to scan your tag and see the price per gallon drop.
